Here’s a few more old dears to round off my trip report…

I see there is a fence around the Vulcan now.

Couldn’t agree more Steve, they’ve done a great job on the presentation, it’s really breath taking when you first walk in and see Alpha Alpha bathed in the seductive low key lighting, like a 30’s film star ! :diablo:

Hopefully with increased patronage of the museum more funds can be raised to get that Beaufighter back to presentable condition? 😀

I’ll do a review of the exhibition next, also very worthwhile and then some shots of the other aircraft at East Fortune. But for now the sun is out and we all know how rare that is round here. 😀

Nice to see a Beaufighter restoration but I’d also like to see the Vulcan and the Comet under cover before it’s too late.

Another midweek day off, so I drove to the Museum Of Flight at East Fortune and had a look at the new Concorde display featuring G-BOAA as it’s centrepiece.

Booked a ticket online, although I wasn’t expecting it to be all that busy on a ‘school day’. £9 in total including internal tour of Concorde, not bad compared to the price of a real flight ticket I suppose?

The exhibition is pretty good as well and there’s a little film to watch too. More on that later…

Here’s a few of my pics so far, impossible to get a wide shot as there’s no room to back off or get high enough. The tail only just avoids the roof, but it gives a nice intimate feel and at least she’s out of the weather (unlike other Concorde exhibits) 😀

I’ll post internal shots and then the exhibition later 🙂

Good pics Allen, what do you think of the museum though? I’ve not been since Concorde arrived but I’m told it’s rather too commercial now?
